Overhauls the career mode to turn pd2 into a generic roguelike. Perk decks, weapons, and weapon mods are all dropped randomly while you play a semi random series of heists.
Heists are broken into tiers based on difficulty. Starting a tier will give you a new random perk deck. Completing a heist will give you a few random weapons, and a bunch of random weapon mods. Most multi day heists have had their days split up. Their single day versions will be separated based on their individual difficulty. If you want to restart then right now you should go into
Options > Advanced > Reset Account Progression
CO-OP should work well. Completing heists within the same tier as your current mission will count as a completion even if it is a different heist. Heist lists are shown at the beginning of each tier. Everyone will need the mod to play together. You are not able to play with vanilla players.
There are two toggleable settings for the mod found in "mod options" -> "roguelike". "Pro Job" and "Hard Mode". Pro Job is similar to the vanilla version. It will wipe your save on heist failure, putting you back to tier 0. Hard Mode will lock you into playing DS and start all heists in loud. There are no added rewards, these options are just for an added challenge.
It might work with overhauls or weapon adding mods, but I can't guarantee it. Give it a try and let me know. I'd like to have good compatibility with other mods. No support for custom heists right now, but might change at some point. You aren't meant to access crimenet or sidejobs, as well as not being able to purchase weapons or weapon mods. Some mods let you do that, but that is not intentional.
Most things are balanced for playing DS loud. If you have balancing change ideas let me know, but keep that in mind. I have also never played a roguelike so if you have any suggestions please let me know.
Still somewhat of a work in progress. Check out the github page for a list of things currently being worked on.
